I almost burst a blood vessel this morning...

Couple in casual business wear sitting together on R train. 8:10 am. He is slumped slightly forward, eyes shut. She is leaning into him.

Her: Are you ok?

Him: Fine.

30 second pause.

Her: Do your eyes hurt?

Him: No. I'm fine.

pause.

Her: Maybe you should start eating better.

He shakes his head slightly.

It took all my strength not to yell, "No lady, he is fine! We're all fine! He just doesn't wanna go ato work just like everyone else!"
